PERSEID METEOR OUTBURST: Do you love the Perseid meteor shower?  This year,
you will love it even more. Forecasters say the 2016 Perseids should be twice
as active as usual, filling the sky with 200+ meteors per hour on peak nights
between Aug. 11th and 13th.  This is happening because Earth is heading for an
unusually rich stream of debris from parent comet Swift-Tuttle. Visit
http://spaceweather.com for sky maps, observing tips, and links to live
webcasts of the Perseid outburst.
